    I have yet to see a single UNIX system where this fails; this is
    documented -- believe it or not -- in the documentation for Perl!  The
    two-character deal is simply a result of a very poorly written manpage
    which has been inherited between the Unices.

    What makes it correct is that it works, even for systems who have a
    different salting scheme, such as FreeBSD.
